Thats why Arsenal fans are complaining about yet another "signing that has potential". When does this "potential" talent become "actual" talent, cos we have umpteen players in the squad with potential some of which we have been waiting a decade to become realised!!

Asked whether Mislintat had identified Mavropanos, Wenger said: “yes”.

Not sure how to take this link. Wenger says that everyone but him has to get used to a new environment, but surely working with a DoF is commonplace and it is Wenger that does not have experience working with one - so he needs to get used to the new environment too, right?

Sounds to me like he won't be relinquishing much power.

Vieira
Anelka
Silvinho
Toure
Clichy
Fabregas
Eboue
Ramsey
Koscielny

And thats your lot.

They restructured and focused more on development of young players and we all know how that went, they became heavyweights in the game, able to compete in all competitions at the highest level.
